"We're always happy to listen to a customer's vision for how they want a room to look and to advise them on our different shades," she says.

The Dulux Paints Tsawwassen store offers a full range of paints for any painting project on your list. There are options for interior and exterior paints, wood stains, primers, and caulking and sealants.

Deborah notes that the key to a great-looking paint job is preparation.

"So often, we just want to jump in and put that gorgeous colour on the wall," she says, "but spending a little time preparing the surface will give you much better results and help you avoid problems along the way."

Once you've moved and covered furniture, give the walls a quick wipe down with a damp rag and vacuum any baseboards and mouldings.

"Don't forget to scrape off any flaking paint and patch all of those small holes or dents," Deborah advises.
